As is well known, our league match against Kecskemét on 31 August was abandoned after 28 minutes and 30 seconds because of heavy rain, which made the pitch unplayable. The match will resume from that point on Wednesday at 19:00 with the score at 0–0.
There has been no further league round since then. Following the international break, both teams played cup matches: we advanced with a 4–1 win over Móri SE, while KTE eliminated top-flight Újpest 3–2 after extra time.
